I would buy these Variant Cover collections, nearly every time. If you have a theme event, and it has at least 30 covers, might as well collect them. I own this one and the Wolverine Art Appreciation collection.

To Celebrate Timely Comics 70th Anniversary, Marvel released Frame Art variants like they did for Marvel’s 25th anniversary and the Women of Marvel Variants. I do wish that they were done as regular covers for the October 2009 issues.

There were 39 of these covers. All but two are shown on the cover (both front and back). I wish the frame art would have made part of the cover to this comic.

So the two characters that are not shown on the cover are Magik and X23. Which is so odd to me as the cover sports three Wolverines and two Spider-Mans.

I just want to own two of these –

New Mutants 4 with Magik by Elena Casagrande & Emily Warren

Wolverine First Class 18 with Kitty and Lockheed by Takeshi Miyazawa

The cool thing about the covers shown in this collection, is that it doesn’t have the issue numbers or the ISBN cluttering the art. Another nice thing about the collection is that the covers are in alphabetical order of the comic title. Not sure what the other way of doing it is but I like that they went with the order they did.
